V8 Vantage or Swap!

[hywelrsvr]

Hello,

Coming from another Forum, I thought I would try something different this Summer and have seen some nice V8's from £30 to 40k, which seems good value.

What are the things that are must have's and things to avoid please?

Any views on this one, it's wrapped but looks great!

On the other hand.....I have a blaze orange 911 '72RS Rep which for about twice that price I would swap!?

Thanks

Is it a wrap or a respray?
Poverty spec stereo
No mention of Bluetooth
No rear parking sensors
Has it ever had the clutch replaced?

No heated seats or lumbar support.

Problem wiht wraps is you have NO idea what the paint work or corrossion is like underneath
That has aftermarket front parking sensors (high on the side of the front bumper)
It also has the 18" alloy option which was rare and only on early cars
The CF mirrors and side strakes are also wrapped

I think you could find a better car for that money

As others have said, that one's a gamble.
For comparison, check this out;

Fully loaded facelift model.

For just under £40k you should be aiming for a 2007 facelift model with 35-40k miles.
Fully loaded with premium audio, cruise and bluetooth etc.

That's all good advice gratefully received, thanks and that last car looks great!

Im seeing the same cars up for sale for months, are they all overpriced?
